Article Synopsis
- The JBJS symposium focused on the importance of including sex and gender in orthopaedic research to enhance study methods and patient outcomes, addressing current shortcomings in reporting.
- Barriers to proper reporting stem from cultural resistance, inadequate education on terminology and study design, insufficient funding for larger studies, and the need for better understanding of how biological and social factors like gender and race interact in health research.
- To overcome these challenges, the development of best-practice statistical methods and ongoing education for all stakeholders in research is crucial, with existing guidelines like the SAGER providing a framework for improvement and support from academic institutions and funders being essential for meaningful progress.
Purpose: To develop a modeling framework to predict the secondary consequences on spinal alignment following correction and to demonstrate the impact of pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) location on sagittal alignment.
Methods: Six patients were included, and pelvic incidence (PI) was measured. Full-length standing radiographs were uploaded into PowerPoint and manipulated to model S1-S2 joint line sacral fractures at 15°, 20°, 25°, and 30°.
An MCL internal brace can withstand cyclic fatigue loading and produce a valgus load to failure similar to that of intact knees.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report on the biomechanical durability and strength of an MCL internal brace construct. The null hypothesis is that there will be no difference between this construct and the intact MCL in terms of deflection during fatigue testing and the ultimate failure load.
Methods: Eight cadaver knees were used.
MCL internal brace does not fully recapitulate normal MCL function in valgus stress.

Purpose: The null hypothesis is that there would be no difference in medial gapping under valgus load between the intact MCL and the ruptured MCL with an internal brace in place.
Methods: Eight pairs of cadaver knees were used (16 knees). Alternating sides, one knee from each pair was used for one of two "internal brace" constructs.
